Jerseys unveiled: The U.S. Army All-American Bowl unveiled its new-look adidas jerseys Wednesday, the first major redesign in the game’s 13-year history. The jerseys are 30 percent lighter than standard jerseys, according to a news release.

Each day leading to Saturday’s game, San Antonio Christian wide receiver Corey Robinson will provide a little insight into his All-American Bowl experience:

We didn’t have practice today, so I woke up this morning and went to the jersey presentation. That was incredible. We got to try everything on. It was so soft and comfortable. I’m so excited to wear those new adidas jerseys the next four years. The head of adidas said that Notre Dame is going to wear those jerseys beginning next year.

Then we went to the children’s hospital. We walked in and just put smiles one everybody’s faces. It was good to see those kids just happy and forgetting about things. It was cool to be able to see that we could brighten their day with just one football. It’s crazy to think how much influence we have with football. It’s just a blessing. The first guy we met actually was a Notre Dame guy, Dillon. I was with (Notre Dame commits) Steven Elmer and John Montelus, so we signed a football for him and it was good to see him smile to see some Irish commits.

I went to see Torii (Hunter Jr.) yesterday at about 5 o’clock. It was cool to see that he was OK. I know he has a broken femur, and it’s sad to hear. We wanted to encourage him and let him know that we were thinking about him. Hopefully he’ll get on his feet soon, get started on that rehab, and we’ll be playing again together in the fall.

We’re going to meet our soldiers tonight, which I’m really excited about. It’s who we’re playing for. They’re going through a lot overseas. If I can play a football game and make them happy, that’s the least I can do. I’m excited to hear their stories and get to know these heroes better.
